Hodad’s is burger heaven for me! Everything was perfectly executed. It was like having In-N-Out on ‘roids for the In-N-Out lovers! Apparently, all the stars were aligned for our trip. We got a parking spot right in front and walked right into immediately available seating!

Here are some tips to prep for your visit to Hodad’s
1. Go early on a weekday because by 12:30, the line was out the door. Or, GO SUPER EARLY, on the weekend because if the weekday crowd was already out the door, then I can’t imagine what the weekend crowd is like.
2. Order the “mini” (not really mini) burgers if you can’t stomach a full size one and add BACON.
3. Share a shake. They are delicious and there’s a LOT of it.

Onto the food!
1. Vanilla Shake – This was amazing! A huge scoop of creamy smooth vanilla ice cream was sitting on top of the metal cupful of milk shake. It is so thick and tasty that you have to eat it with a spoon. I’ll happily scoop away.
2. Onion Rings – The first two onion rings were tasty, but the onion itself came out with one bite. However, I think that the rest of them got scared and shaped up! They were crunchy and each bite came with a little onion at a time. Perfectly crunchy, salty and tasty.
3. Mini cheeseburger – Everything about this burger was fantastic. The lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles were refreshingly cold. The burger patty was not too thick; just the way I like it. There was mayo, mustard and ketchup to bind everything together with the mother of all BACON TOPPINGS – a mutha-beepin’ bacon patty! Strips of bacon pressed together and deep fried.

It was a rainy, cold day and the perfect day for comfort food from Urban Solace. They serve what I would call fine dining comfort food. Dishes are enhance with fancy ingredients such as mac n cheese with Duck!
